About KCR Group
KCR Group is a high-growth premium womenswear holding company headquartered in Manchester, operating two internationally recognised brands — Club L London (premium occasionwear) and Lavish Alice (elevated contemporary womenswear). With 13 international Shopify storefronts, wholesale partnerships with Harvey Nichols, Bloomingdale's and Ounass across the GCC, and the US as our largest market, KCR Group is scaling rapidly across the EU, GCC, US and Australia.
Having opened a Dubai office in January 2026 and with a third brand and London Hub launching in 2026, we are building the operational infrastructure of a genuinely global fashion group. This is a business that moves fast, thinks big, and holds itself to the standards of the world's leading fashion operators.
The Role
This is an exceptional opportunity for a driven, highly organised and commercially aware Executive Assistant to provide dedicated, high-impact support to KCR Group's C-Suite and D-Suite leadership. You will work directly with the Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Brand Directors and other senior leaders, ensuring they operate at maximum effectiveness across a complex, multi-brand, multi-territory business.
This is not a traditional PA role. We are looking for an EA who acts as a true strategic partner — someone who thinks ahead, manages risk before it surfaces, communicates with authority on behalf of the leadership team and holds the executive function together in a business that operates across multiple time zones. You will be the connective tissue between leadership and the wider business.
Comparable benchmarks for this calibre of EA role where EA professionals operate at a level that blends first-class administrative execution with genuine business acumen.
